More than one-quarter of the world's 7.8 billion people are now largely confined to their homes, as governments step up curbs on movement and social contact. In many parts of the world, borders are closed, airports, hotels and businesses shut, and school cancelled. These unprecedented measures are tearing at the social fabric of some societies and disrupting many economies, resulting in mass job losses and raising the spectre of widespread hunger. Much remains uncertain, but analysts say measures we are taking ourselves could permanently change the ways in which we live, work, worship and play in the future. Envisioning that future world is key in ensuring we change for the better. So what does the future look like? Technology will be as ubiquitous as it is now, if not more, and tech companies will become even more powerful and dominant. That includes smaller firms like Zoom, and the big players such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Paypal. Prior to this, we saw a period in which people were increasingly more critical of technology. But, as the increases our dependence on technology, people will forget that ignorance towards Silicon Valley, at least in the short term. A lot of our lives are habitual, and habits are highly effective in helping us work, look after our families and pursue our goals. What a shock to the system does is change those habits. People work and travel in a different way, their daily routines and the very rhythm of their lives change, including when they eat and how they communicate with their families. And when you are forced to do things differently, new habits begin to form. This doesn't have to take long - it could be as short as a few weeks or a month.
